Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Cooee Busways at Free against TripView's $4.99. Cooee Busways also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). TripView's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 35%) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 3). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Cooee Busways is free to download; TripView costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Cooee Busways holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TripView has 1.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of TripView's written reviews are positive against 35% of Cooee Busways's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TripView ships an update every 2 months, Cooee Busways every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
